Kelly Wagner

Kelly Wagner serves as a key procurement lead within Acquisitions - AQM Momentum (19AQMM), a critical component of the U.S. Department of State responsible for securing mission-critical infrastructure and services to support diplomatic operations worldwide. In this role, Wagner manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for security systems, technical consulting, facility support, and logistical services essential to U.S. embassy and consulate readiness. Their work ensures that diplomatic missions abroad maintain operational continuity through timely, compliant, and strategically aligned contracting actions, with a focus on high-risk, high-impact procurements requiring international coordination and stringent security protocols. Wagner maintains established relationships with a diverse set of prime contractors, including PBG Consulting, LLC, CGI Federal Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Pütz Security AG, and KADIAK LLC_DGI-ATI II LLC_Property & Environmental Management Inc. These partnerships span security engineering, IT modernization, facility management, and specialized air transportation services, reflecting a preference for experienced, globally capable vendors with proven track records in sensitive overseas environments. The working relationships are characterized by long-term engagement, performance-based contract structures, and a focus on vendor reliability under demanding operational conditions. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition among qualified global vendors rather than prioritizing small business or disadvantaged status categories, aligning with the agency’s mission-critical requirements and international procurement constraints. Wagner’s procurement portfolio is concentrated in four primary NAICS categories: 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), which support security architecture and operational planning; 721110 (Hotels and Motels), for secure diplomatic housing; and 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation), enabling rapid deployment of personnel and equipment. Their expertise lies in integrating technical, logistical, and security domains to deliver end-to-end mission support under austere and high-threat conditions.
